ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 10, 2024) ~ The Maryland Department of Agriculture is currently seeking nominations for the Governor's Agriculture Hall of Fame, an esteemed recognition that celebrates the hard work and dedication of farm families in the state. The deadline for nominations is October 4, 2024.
According to Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks, farm families are the backbone of the state's agriculture industry and deserve to be honored for their contributions. He encourages everyone to take this opportunity to shine a light on the tireless efforts of these families by nominating them for this prestigious recognition.
Established in 1991, the Governor's Agriculture Hall of Fame aims to pay tribute to exceptional farm families who have dedicated their lives to Maryland's agricultural heritage. The first inductees were Roland and Mildred Darcey from Prince George's County, Y.D. and Lonnie Hance from Calvert County, and C. Rodman and Jean Myers from Frederick County. Since then, a total of 56 farm families from all 23 counties in Maryland have been honored.

To be eligible for induction, a family must primarily derive its income from farming. The application process requires working with the county University of Maryland Extension office and providing detailed information about the family's agricultural leadership, community activities, and technological advancements such as soil and water conservation, marketing initiatives, machinery innovations, and safety strategies. Nominations must also include signatures from their county Extension agent, county Farm Bureau president, and Soil Conservation District manager.
The selection committee consists of the Dean of the University of Maryland's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, the President of the Maryland Farm Bureau, and an unbiased panel from the state's agricultural community. Only one farm family per county can be considered for induction.
The chosen families will be honored at the "Taste of Maryland Agriculture" event on February 6th, 2025. Interested parties can download this year's application from mda.maryland.gov.
